Jesse Marsch post Villa
Marsch's here - reaction?
First half could have been more assertive. Hard to tell if our confidence was lacking a little because off for some time. Always want group to play brave, play forward, be calm, but first half all in all satisfactory.
Second yellow is not an intelligent play and gets Luis, us, in trouble. Worked on man-down tactics two weeks ago. Even submitted a video for them to work last night. Prep helped and you also see the character of our team, the fight, willingness to run. Always had that

Hard to get into the flow?
Yes. Already spoken to PGMOL. Took up 90 minutes of our time this week to do better with the run of play in matches. This feels like a tactic from the opposition against us. Feel sorry for the fans to see this disruption.
Cooper
One of the reasons we put Luke on the pitch, and Coops, was the mental attributes they have, Guys off the bench did everything they could. Moments in there where we can be smarter. Manage moments, but in the end keep working towards that. Intelligence. Always draw like we did today. Good clean sheet, but more to do.
Gelhardt
Fitness test. He was perfectly healthy, but we wanted him to do some running to boost his fitness levels.
Bamford
Patrick had a little knock. Not able to train all week. Some doubt about his availability. Almost told you on Friday. Felt strongly he would be available today.
How easy to control games from the press box?
Tried not to be in Jacko's ear every 30 seconds. Good communication. Staff carried out the plan. Discussed subs as we had different discussions. Changes were good. Staff outstanding managing the situation. Prefer not to put anyone else in that situation again.
Gelhardt
Not based on performance. A lot of guys performing well. Could say pecking order, but I really like Joffy. Maybe use him on Tuesday with a few others. Please don't take it as a negative from Joffy.
Sinisterra
We have a young team. Made the decision to go after players we believe have high potential and fit the way we want to play. Not as much PL experience and taste means I have to be patient. All growing this together and trying to be intelligent and savvy.
Youths will make mistakes?
I have become a manager who coaches a lot of young players. Helped them in their lives and careers and you have to be patient with their foolish mistakes. In the process, help them learn from their mistakes. We are doing that
Atmosphere among the fans?
Feel like we have to apologise because they don't get entertainment. Slowed down by the opponent.
